CBD and its dosage: Levapoteur-discount tells you everything about CBD, this miracle herb
CBD herb, sublingual oils. How to dose CBD for better effects
CBD or cannabidiol is a substance belonging to the cannabinoid group. Phytocannabinoids to be precise, meaning the substance is naturally present in the plant (as opposed to synthetic molecules). For your information, this group includes no fewer than 113 active substances. Be careful not to confuse cannabidiol (with a D), which is the subject here, with the well-known (THC) tetrahydrocannabinol and (CBN) cannabinol (with an N), which belong to the same group but are very different.
- It is a substance belonging to the cannabinoid group. - It is a non-psychoactive substance (no direct effect on the nervous system).
(As a reminder: tobacco and alcohol are rather heavy psychoactive substances.)
What are the effects of CBD?
Unlike its cousin THC and as mentioned above, cannabidiol is not a psychoactive substance. Those looking for strong sensations and hallucinations can immediately look elsewhere.
There are many effects, and that is quite normal. Our body and brain are equipped with a whole range of receptors that respond to cannabinoids. In fact, these receptors, already present in our bodies, form what is known in scientific jargon as "the endocannabinoid system." It is important to highlight this first point because cannabinoids act on areas that are already biologically equipped to receive stimuli of this type — unlike other substances such as alcohol, which interact with biological functions that are poorly suited to them.
This is why the euphoria of alcohol cannot be achieved without damaging the liver. It is very far from what it is designed to do, so it does it poorly. On the other hand, certain cannabinoids, starting with CBD, will trigger biological mechanisms that the body is already accustomed to. Many effects can therefore take place well before reaching an inadvisable dosage.
How to dose CBD?
First of all, please note that several factors need to be taken into account — there is no "best dosage" for CBD. As with a medication, different factors will influence the effects and dosage of CBD. In other words, a one-size-fits-all dosage does not exist, whether for CBD oil or for e-cigarette blends!
Here are some examples:
- Your weight - Your body chemistry - The CBD concentration of your product - The desired effect
Today, thanks to its recognized benefits and popularity, CBD has seen a flourishing of many derivative products such as oils, e-cigarette liquids, dietary supplements for humans and animals, cosmetic products, etc. Below you will find more detailed information on the different types of products.
CBD for e-cigarettes
Are you a novice or experienced CBD user? Do you want to understand how to dose and use it properly? You are in the right place. We will explain how to best dose your CBD, bearing in mind that CBD dosage has no official reference. Here we will talk about CBD boosters, but you will also find on our site pre-dosed cheap CBD e-liquids and even, for those who prioritize taste over dosage, cannabis flavor e-liquids.
Determining the dosage of your e-liquid with a CBD Booster:
In order to determine the dosages that will allow you to create your e-liquid with your CBD Booster + your base + your flavoring, you first need to:
- Determine the desired CBD concentration. - Know the concentration of your CBD Booster (250mg, 500mg, 1000mg or 1500mg). - Know the quantity of e-liquid you wish to make (have an empty bottle on hand).
CBD boosters are generally sold in 10 ml bottles, i.e.:
To obtain a CBD e-liquid with a concentration of 300mg in a 10 ml container, you need:
- 6 ml of CBD Booster 500mg (6x50mg = 300mg) or 3 ml of CBD Booster 1000mg (3x100mg = 300mg) or 2 ml of CBD Booster 1500mg (2x150mg = 300mg).
The remainder of the bottle should be filled with your base and your flavoring, following the dosage recommendations indicated on their respective bottles.
One last tip: do your calculations based on a 10 ml bottle, then multiply the quantities. For example, a 50 ml bottle contains 5 times more e-liquid than a 10 ml bottle. You will therefore need to multiply the quantities of CBD Booster by 5 to prepare your blend and obtain a CBD e-liquid in a 50 ml format.
Other information for determining your dosage:
- Just like with e-cigarettes, your dosage will depend on your device! If you have a powerful device, opt for lower concentrations. - CBD does not act as quickly as nicotine, so you will need to count on a session of about twenty minutes, just as you would with herb, to feel the first effects. - Low dosages (≤ 150 mg per 10 ml bottle or 15 mg/ml) are suitable for occasional as well as long-term vaping. - Medium dosages (between 150 and 300 mg per 10 ml bottle) have more pronounced effects. It is recommended to proceed gradually and in stages. Stay at that level at your own pace for about fifteen minutes, then take a break. It is preferable to stop just before reaching the desired effect. - High dosages (between 300 and 500 mg per 10 ml bottle) are intended for clearly recreational use. There is no need to vape them over an extended session. - Very high dosages (from 500 mg per 10 ml bottle) are meant to be diluted! Do not vape them undiluted. Do not sell them as such if you are a professional! Understand that at these doses your main receptors will saturate quickly. This means you are wasting a great deal of e-liquid for very little additional effect.
What is CBD oil?
Better known by its abbreviation CBD, cannabidiol is one of the many components of the hemp plant. CBD oil is therefore made from cannabidiol extracted from hemp, then infused and diluted in conventional oils such as olive oil or coconut oil.
Cannabidiol dissolves more readily in fatty substances; oil allows for convenient dosing and can be transported in small vials. It is consumed either by holding it under the tongue for 30 seconds, or by direct ingestion, alone or mixed with other ingredients. Some CBD oils can completely replace conventional cooking oils.
What is CBD oil used for?
We must here distinguish the therapeutic effects of CBD from its effects on daily well-being. CBD oil has been studied for its potential role in alleviating the symptoms of many common health problems, including anxiety, depression, acne, and heart disease. CBD oil is also known to have been used to reduce epileptic seizures in children, with very impressive effects. All these medical uses, however, require a diagnosis and medical follow-up, followed by a prescription of cannabis-based medications. Greeneo CBD oils are of course not considered medications, and are intended solely for daily wellness use. Their differences? On the one hand, the dosage, which is much lower, and on the other hand, the absence of THC, unlike medications such as Sativex for example. CBD oils can therefore be used to relieve anxiety or promote a healthy sleep cycle, to relax, or to help reduce certain inflammations.
Are there any potential side effects?
CBD is generally very well tolerated and considered safe; however, some people may experience unwanted effects, such as:
- Diarrhea. - Changes in appetite and weight. - Fatigue.
CBD is also known to interact with several medications. Before consuming CBD, discuss it with your doctor to ensure your safety. This is particularly important if you are taking medications or supplements that come with a "grapefruit warning." Indeed, grapefruit and CBD both interfere with cytochrome P450, which is a group of enzymes important for drug metabolism.
How long will it take to feel the effects of CBD?
- Sublingually; the effects of CBD oil generally appear on average within 15 minutes, but this can take less time depending on the individual. - By ingestion; you need to wait for the digestion cycle, meaning several hours before the liver passes the CBD into the bloodstream.
Based on the results obtained and desired, you will then adjust your consumption level. Keep notes of your daily intake and compare them with the improvement of your symptoms.
Dosage guidelines
Can I apply CBD oil to my skin?
The dosages of CBD oils remain higher than the dosages of CBD cosmetics, and their formulation is not originally intended for topical use. However, the advantage of CBD oil when applied to the skin is that it can act instantly on the area that needs it. Nevertheless, be mindful of the quantities applied.
Warning: CBD oil cannot be vaped! Oils are food products and must never be used with an e-cigarette.
In addition to its calming properties, CBD has been shown to relieve common skin problems by reducing inflammation and boosting nutrients. The skin benefits also include powerful antioxidants, improved sleep, and anti-inflammatory agents that can help treat conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, as well as reducing acne. CBD cosmetics are, moreover, not just a passing trend. They provide a localized and visible action, either as prevention or as treatment for certain skin conditions. CBD can also replace other natural products such as the famous tiger balm after physical exertion or for certain contact sports such as boxing.
What is the effect of CBD on the skin?
Known for its healing properties, cannabidiol offers serious antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits that can be beneficial in treating skin problems such as inflammation or dry skin. CBD could also be effective in fighting acne as it helps reduce sebum production in the skin. Furthermore, studies indicate that cannabidiol may also be effective in treating eczema and psoriasis. Although research on the effects of CBD in cosmetics is quite limited, it is nonetheless considered safe to use topically. Skin reactions are always possible but are more likely to come from other ingredients in the product in question.
What uses are CBD cosmetics designed for?
Reducing inflammation: inflamed skin is painful and likely red and irritated. All skin types can experience inflammation, which can range from acute to chronic. CBD can help reduce inflammation by downregulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Cytokines are a group of proteins that interact with the immune system and regulate inflammation.
- Soothing acne: similar to its anti-inflammatory effects, CBD may have anti-acne properties. - Relieving skin conditions: numerous studies suggest that CBD can alleviate symptoms such as dry skin, itching, or burning. As a result, CBD may provide relief for people suffering from skin conditions such as psoriasis, dermatitis, or xerosis.
Can CBD be used on aging skin?
Aging skin becomes thinner, drier and more fragile, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles over time. These signs of aging are caused by damage from free radicals, which are unstable molecules in the body. These molecules accumulate over time, causing damage at the cellular level. Antioxidants stop the damage caused by free radicals, stabilizing the molecules before they damage the skin. Thanks to its antioxidant properties, CBD can help protect the skin from damage and reduce the signs of aging.
